Lane Southern Orchards – Shop! Eat! Play!
Get off I-75 and have some real family fun, just five minutes away at Exit 142, in Fort
Valley. Stroll through their huge indoor roadside market filled with farm-fresh peaches, pe-
cans, strawberries (when in season) and other seasonal
produce, candy coated pecans and unique southern gour-
met items. You will also find Georgia Wines and over
60 Craft Beers. The you-pick strawberry patch opens in
April and fresh peaches are harvested mid-May.
Enjoy Breakfast or lunch at the Peachtree Cafe &
Bakery. Choose one of our scrumptious appetizers or
mouth-watering main courses. After lunch, let the kids
play on their farm themed playground with real tractors.
Afterwards, grab a rocking chair on the porch and
enjoy a bowl of our warm cobbler,
peach ice cream, or one of the other
goodness gracious goodies. Or delight
yourself with a fresh peach milkshake that is available year- round. Take I-75
to exit 142 in Fort Valley, GA. For more information visit www.lanesouther-
norchards.com or call 800-277-3224. We hope to see y’all soon!
